If you ll be using it for much of highway riding Gs150 makes sense if restricted to city alone p180 will do being a pulsarian b4 a p180 will be a more plausible upgrade

Both the bikes are good if you do regular maintenance. The Pulsar needs a little more care, but it could serve you with better parts availability, mileage and cheap parts. I could'nt comment on GS as I didnot own one.

I'll suggest you GSR any time.....regarding power stuff it provides you enough power..........with TS of 127kmph....thats not bad........and its fun driving it on highways and with your details it will be well suited for a person of your built......mileage what i am getting is 57kmpl .................for city driving with its 150kg weight.......its a bit heavy .........but it sure gives you feel of riding something BIG...........and its even one of the most refined bike in India.......

Default Test Drive for 3 or 4 kms

Try a test drive on both the bikes for 3 or 4 kms
before that list down what you are expecting from the bike
both are not bad at mileage

opinion and feedback differs for each individual
In my experience with GS150R its good for city ride as well as long touring am getting 52 kmpl city mileage and once got 62 on pure highway abuse
in Bangalore my suzuki servicing is good.

i can't comment on pulsar as i didn't own one, but i would say pulsar pulsar everywhere even 180 or 150 or 220 they have more similar looks
